According to Montinola, recent favorable developments such as additional production efficiencies and  the peso appreciation has helped Republic Cement to absorb the effect of an eight percent inflation rate and not raise  prices during the summer months.


However, Montinola warned  "the biggest threat to stable cement prices within the next quarter is an increase in power rates."
